Natanzadeh was stabbed multiple times and died at the scene.

Police have released security images of the suspect, who left on foot with a bag. He is described as a Hispanic man, 30 to 40 years old, 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing 160 to 180 pounds.

News of the crime in the city’s jewelry district shocked the region’s Iranian Jewish community, to which Natanzadeh belonged, Forward reports.

“I have received multiple phone calls from different people in the community who are worried and had been telling their family members who work in downtown to come home after hearing of this killing,” Dara Abaei, leader of the Los Angeles-based Jewish Unity Network, was quoted saying.

The Jewelers’ Security Alliance is offering a $2,500 reward for information in the case. Anyone with a tip can reach the Los Angeles Police Department at 877-527-3247 or JSA at 212-687-0328 or jsa2@jewelerssecurity.org.

Ready to Relocate? Wilkerson Makes Your Move Seamless

When Brockhaus Jewelry decided to leave their longtime West Main Street storefront for a standalone building elsewhere in Norman, Oklahoma, owners John Brockhaus and Brad Shipman faced a familiar challenge: how to efficiently reduce inventory before the big move. Their solution? Partnering with liquidation specialists Wilkerson for a second time. "We'd already experienced Wilkerson's professionalism during a previous sale," Shipman recalls. "But their approach to our relocation event truly impressed us. They strategically prioritized our existing pieces while tactfully introducing complementary merchandise as inventory levels decreased." The carefully orchestrated sale didn't just meet targets—it shattered them. Asked if they'd endorse Wilkerson to industry colleagues planning similar transitions—whether relocating, retiring, or refreshing their space—both partners were emphatic in their approval. "The entire process was remarkably straightforward," Shipman notes. "Wilkerson delivered a well-structured program, paired us with a knowledgeable advisor, and managed every detail flawlessly from concept to completion."
